TESTIMONIALS

“I first met Ms. Yau in 2019…She and Fulphil are making a huge impact on disadvantaged youth around the nation, including my own classroom…The entire staff of marketing teachers at the EAROP have benefited from her classroom presentations and curriculum that she has designed to help our students prepare for 21st Century careers, regardless of their socioeconomic backgrounds. Ms. Yau has also provided countless hours working individually with students to help develop their business ideas and master their presentation skills. She goes above and beyond when it comes to helping students and teachers.”

— Rick Charles
Distinguished Entrepreneurship Teacher, Hayward High School

"I used to think of my company as nothing more than a little lemonade stand on the corner of your street that makes a buck or two for every sale. With the help of Fulphil, I now see it as more of a company and threw away the thought of a little lemonade stand.”

TESTIMONIALS

“Tiffany is a rare one. Most people point to her intelligence, grit, decision-making, management, operational strengths, analytical prowess, and incredible execution ability. But what sets her apart from anyone is her genuine love for her community and the people she engages with. Everyone loves Tiffany. People believe in her, follow her, and champion her quite immediately. It’s almost like people recognize her genius after the fact. She never ceases to impress. Whether it’s her heart of gold or her brilliant mind, Tiffany is an attractive force and a fantastic builder. Any organization would benefit tremendously from her perspective. I am lucky to have had her as a co-founder, but more importantly, a friend.”

"Few people bring the unique combination of social impact, education, and investor experience to the table at the level that Tiffany does. She wears all of these hats to support us in our journey at Scaffold Ed, helping us identify new opportunities in our market and pushing the team to think more deeply about the impact we're making for our customers. She goes above and beyond her role as an angel investor and isn't afraid to dive into the core challenges we face as an early-stage company."
